Feature to spit out a list of users that need a password reset from DB?

Not too sure which category this would be in, so please direct me if you know
As the title says, is there a feature or tool that exports a list of usernames that have their password expiring in, for example, the next 10-20 days? It's a common occurrence that people forget to change their password and end up being locked out. This tool would greatly make it easier on our IT dept.
Thanks!

I need a password reset from a VERY old defunct email address

I am trying to play tracks from my library.
Itune sis asking for a password inorder to authorise this PC to play the tracks.
The account names that appear are old ones that I do not have access to their linked email accounts & I cannnot seem to get thru the DoB section of iForgot even when i enter the birthdays of everyone i know.
I have given up on Itunes support as I get a different person with a different interpretaion of my requirements each time.
This problem has arisen because Ive had my whole library trasferred to an ext hard drive, This should not pose any problems, and in the main has been quite straightforward, except for about 30% of my library that was purchased a long time ago with account names that my wife and i were using.
I know what the account names are as Itunes shows them in the prompt that asks for the passwords.
P L E A S E let there be somenbody out there who can help or even tell me how to phrase my predicament to apple so I can listening.
Ta very much

Hi there
I'm experiencing the very same issue - my work laptop has recently been rebuilt and I am rebuilding my library from an external hard drive. Have you managed to establish a workaround?
Thanks

Vendor mapping and password resets in EP7

Good day,
This is my first thread, so please bare with me.
I'm currently faced with a challenge regarding Vendor mappings and password resets.
We make use of EP7.0 and Netweaver 2004s for the backend. SRM version is 5.0. We map the vendors in the portal to the relevant backend systems. After setting the passwords for the vendors in the backend, we have to log in with the ID's to hard set the passwords. The vendors are set as dialog users and thus their passwords need to be reset regularly, in our case, every 30 days.
My question is this: Is there a better way of managing the vendor mappings, like for instance making them service users which removes the need to change passwords, as from what I understand, it's actually the vendor groups that are mapped to backend users and not every user that belongs to the vendor group. The users still need to log onto the portal with their passwords.
Any ideas are welcome.
John

If its One Portal User to One backend user, you can eliminate this need of password resetting by configuring Logon tickets.
From what I understood is it that you have many portal users all mapped to a common backend user?

DB Link password reset

The application team wants to know if they can reset the DB link password for all their applications(dev,test & prod) at the same time.
Since lots of apps have these exact kind of DBlinks that need a password reset....can anyone suggest what would be a good approach to tackle this?

I'm not completely sure that I understand the problem...
Assuming that a database link uses a fixed username & password to access a remote database rather than, say, using the current user, you can change the password that is associated with the database link. You'd need to change the password in every database where the link exists (though dev, test, and production databases normally have database links to other dev, test, and production databases rather than all having database links to the same database). You can obviously log on to each database in succession to change the password (i.e. log in to prod, change the password, log in to test, change the password, etc.). That's not literally simultaneously but it can happen in a short time window. Is there really a problem if it takes a couple minutes before the database link in dev is working again? It is, after all, a development environment.
Normally, if you're going to use fixed usernames & passwords in database links, those accounts are created specifically for the database link and the passwords for those accounts never change precisely to avoid coordinating password changes on dozens of databases.

PC22224 switch password reset OR anchor?

Is there a proven password reset procedure for the PC22224?
Or, has Linksys provided me with an anchor for my collection?
I've inherited a PC22224 switch here at work.
The original setup was done by someone now gone.
We have not been able to locate his setup notes.
This switch is not responding to the password reset procedure for the SRW switches (or I'm overlooking something).
I have console access.
The switch is booting OK.
I press ESC.
Get prompt: Boot>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the ONLY way I can find to RESET the admin password on a Linksys/Cisco PC22224
managed switch! It's not horribly complicated at all.
Basically, you download the software configuration file from a working switch of the exact
same model and upload it to the "broken" switch with the password you need reset!
First, you MUST have a working PC22224 switch that you KNOW its admin password!
Hook that switch up from the console to a computer that uses something similar to
Hyperterminal. There are plenty of instructions on how to do that in it's manual, so I
won't get off in that area!
Boot up and login as "admin".
Go to the "Advance Management" tab.
Select "File Transfer".
Select "Send File via Kermit"
Select the first file "S/W Config. File".
When you see "Transfer File Now?", select "Yes".
Now you must go to the top of Hyperterminal and
select the "Transfer" tab and then select "Receive File".
You should soon start transmitting a file (mine was called "aswcfg.rom").
It should show the file name. Remember the file name AND where it is transferring!
This is important, because you will need to know where to find it next when we start
sending it to your "broken" switch!
When it finishes, disconnect your AC and serial cable from that switch
and move them over to your "broken" switch that needs the password reset!
Boot up your "broken" switch, as soon as you see the prompts on the screen,
type "esc".
You should see a prompt that looks like this "Boot>"
Now, type "upload",
You should see "Start Kermit Upload Now" on the screen.
Now you must go back to the top of Hyperterminal and
select the "Transfer" tab and then select "Send File".
Select the file you just downloaded (mine was called "aswcfg.rom")
Once it finishes downloading it will flash the rom with the new code.
After it is complete, you can reboot the machine and log into the
admin account with the same password you used on the working
machine you downloaded the new code from!
Let me know if you have any problems!
You can send Jack Daniels or other kudos to me for this fix.

I need help with resetting my ichat. When i try to login now it wont let me... it says "AOL Instant Messenger password" and then "iChat can't log in to ... because your login ID or password is incorrect. How do I reset this if I cant log in? When I try to press online the same thing pops up and I have no way of logging in or asking for help.

Hi,
iChat (it would help to know which version) can accept Apple IDs as valid AIM Screen Names.
However if you have iChat 5 or earlier you cannot use ones ending in @me.com or @icloud.com issued by iCloud. (they can be used in iChat 6 or Messages as these versions make a double login to AIM and Apple to allow the use of the password).
In addition if you are using an Apple ID for an AIM Screen Name the password still needs to keep to the 16 character limit that AIM has.
AN @mac.com name can be used on any version of iChat (Until the 30th June 2014)
As it does not need a double check with Apple you can use it to log in to the AIM Web pages
Login here with an AIM Name registered at AIM or and @mac.com name and see if you get any suspended account messages.
Sometimes account can be suspended. Usually because something has triggered the "Unusual Activity" item.
About a year ago many @mac.com users that travelled out of their own country found themselves suspended when they got home.
If the Name checks out of if an Apple ID the password in known to be 16 characters or Less then do this:-
In Lion upwards open a Finder Window and use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
Select the Library that appears in the menu list.
Navigate to Preferences.
(If you have version earlier than Lion the just navigate to ~/Library/Preferences (that's the Library in you Home - Little House icon - folder)
Fnd com.apple.ichat.aim.plist (even if you are using Messages)
Drag the file to the Trash and Restart the app.

Trying to reset administrator password by using the Mac OS X Install disc to reset but it won't allow me to without original administrator password. Frustrating.

Trying to reset administrator name/password by using the Mac OS X Install disc to reset but it won't allow me to without original administrator name/password. Frustrating. Reason I'm trying to reset is that it seems to be not recognising the administrator name as have changed password in System Preferences - Accounts.
PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
*Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password*
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
Changing your administrator password
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
2. wait for terminal show
3. release keys
4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
5. press enter
6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
7. press enter
8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
9. press enter
This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
Without the discs, try this (OS 10.5 only). *How to Reset User Password via single user mode*
http://macosx.com/forums/howto-faqs/300019-howto-reset-user-password-via-single- user-mode.html
Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
   1. Reboot
   2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
   3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
          * mount -uw /
          * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
          * shutdown -h now
   4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!

Flying Blind into a Mac OS X Server Password Reset

Let me preface my questions with the note that I am experienced with general OS X user administration but I am coming off of 5 years of heavy Windows network consulting and administration. I'm comfortable with the command line (have a good deal of *nix experience) and patient enough to read everything when solving problems of this sort.
I am going into a site with almost zero documentation, where the existing network admin was the jack of all trades in IT support for the company. The old admin up and quit and now we have no access to login to the Mac OS X Server. I do not know if it is running open directory (all os x clients are 'local' users but each user does have the ability to login to shares on the server with a user/pass).
I believe the server is 10.5.x
We need to reset the admin user password, but if it is running OD will I run into issues if I follow the standard reset using the install disk?
How can I determine if it is actually running open directory without a logon account?
Suggestions welcome! I'm searching apple support, forums, and googling thoroughly as well, but figured posting here can't hurt.

Using the standard password reset should not affect other accounts.

Creative Cloud Mac app says "Your Home Feed Is Empty" after forced password reset

After resetting my CC password, the CC app on my Mac says "Your Home Feed Is Empty" except I already have Ps, In, Ai and Acrobat XI installed. It looks like I have to download them all again, is this the case? Have quit out of the CC app, restarted Mac etc, no change.
Hope you can help.

In case that was ambiguous, Ps, Ai, In etc are all running fine, and were installed through the CC app before the password reset. So to get updates through the CC app, do I need to download themm all again?
